As of January 1, 2008, the City adopted the new Land Development Ordinance, which takes action dealing with parking concerns that have often been cited as a problem by our residents . The new ordinance (Chapter 10.2) states the following regarding front yard parking for Single-Family residences and Duplex Developments: "Vehicle parking in the front yard shall be located on a prepared surface, and shall not exceed 25% of the front yard width. This provision shall not apply to front yard circulation drives." Parking in front yards has been a common complaint because it affects the general appearance of our homes in the North Main Neighborhood. Up until now there was no regulation regarding the problem. The City’s Development Services Division (704-638-5210) has the responsibility for enforcement of front yard parking complaints. To avoid enforcement, park your automobiles in designated driveways, not in the front lawn. If you do not have a driveway, establish a prepared parking area to the side or back of your residence. Encourage landlords to assist if necessary. Tell your landlord about the new ordinance. Show folks that you care about the appearance of your residence and the neighborhood!
